A pure space frame will have tubes ONLY in bending
and compression while this mount type relies on the
bending strength of some of the tubes.

Therefor you will see a bunch of band aids on the type added after the cracks
develop in service such as gussets and doubled up tubes in
the case  of my C182 Cont. O-470 engine mount.

Hi Paul,
I think you mean, " a pure space frame will have tubes only in TENSION
and Compression"
I do not mean to be picky, but it is important to get this point
accurately.
BR, Dave MCC

Thanks Dave.  How did I not see that? My mind had to be someplace
else. My mind must have raced ahead of my dumb fingers :)
